Solution

The correct option is C 307.6 kcal
CaCO3 (s)CaO(s)+CO2 (g) H0=42.8 kcal
CaO (s)+3C (s)CaC2 (s)+CO (g) H0=111 kcal
___________________________________________________
CaCO3 (s)+3C (s)CaC2 (s)+CO (g)+CO2 (g) H=153.8 kcal

Thus heat required to prepare 1 mole of CaC2 from CaCO3
=153.8 kcal
Molecular weight of CaC2=40+24=64
64 g of CaC2 requires 153.8 kcal of heat
128 g of CaC2 requires 307.6 kcal of heat
